Ah well. I find it works great and reduces my carb loading by about 30%. As we don’t have any family at home to worry about, it’s never a problem - mind you, we hardly ever have pasta and the odd spud is always cooked in advance and shoved into the freezer in portion boxes. Rice and shop bought bread is not allowed into the house.I am aware of resistant starch but it can only reduce effects on BG by a fraction, hardly at all for some people.
It's no use if the dish is intended to be eaten immediately like last night's linguine carbonara, which would have been unpleasant eaten cold.
This was already a less than half size portion (40g dry weight of pasta), I'm not interested enough in eating pasta to further strain relationships with my family by asking them to add extra processing to what was a quick, easy dinner so will just keep avoiding pasta altogether.
Door has knobs. But ancient, wobbly and unreliable. Have seen her throw herself at the door sometimes.If you have door handles rather than knobs, they can jump up and pull down with enough weight to open the door!
9.3 today after another experiment, sushi this time. Forced myself to stay awake for 2hr post meal testing, BG back to premeal level, yay!
Hi Debs, do you also check after one hour to see how high tbe spike( if any) is?If you have door handles rather than knobs, they can jump up and pull down with enough weight to open the door!

Have found resistant starch to be helpful, but my diffuculty is MrSlim. His medical condition is helped by white starches, so rice, pasta and of course, in france, bread are always in the house.Ah well. I find it works great and reduces my carb loading by about 30%.

I used to make cauliflower rice, happy to eat that, but with only one cooking ring, can't be faffing about. So mostly ready meals at the moment. Carefully chosen, I can manage about 30g carbs per meal.
Tonight we shared a trout, I had one piece of potato, carrots, peas and a green veg purée. Glass of rosé, and coffee after. BG before eating 4.9
Not often, as it's such a palaver to test with my reluctant blood vessels. I'm doing the 2hr testing first and anything that gives borderline results that I still want to eat will get more thoroughly tested another day. I'm most keen at this stage to eliminate anything, like pies, that sends my BG into the stratosphere for 4hours plus.Hi Debs, do you also check after one hour to see how high tbe spike( if any) is?
Yes, as my French brother in law used to say, “it’s not a meal unless there is bread.” Your trout dinner sounds excellent.Have found resistant starch to be helpful, but my diffuculty is MrSlim.

Think this may be due to unusual amount of physical activity. Stripping wallpaper so up and down ladder frequently.Spike after one hour, 6.6
But after two hours down to 4.6
Its unusual for me to drop into the fours so very pleased with this.
Windy here too. Bright and occasional sun but the wind makes it quite chilly. Trees are taking a bit of a bettering again. We have to keep an eye on the trees near the house because our telephone line is overhead and comes through between 2 trees. Every so often Neil has to go out and hack bits off of them to avoid them bringing the phone line down.10.8
Windy out today, we had a few big gusts earlier which made me worry about the security of the drying laundry - lots of towels flapping madly.
